叶芝《艾德渴望天国的锦衣》

Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

William Butler Yeats

Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

艾德渴望天国的锦衣

——威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

忒绿译

若我拥有天国的锦衣，

镶绣着金光银辉，

那蓝色，幽雅而深邃的锦衣

编织着夜色，华光，明暗交映，

我会将这锦缎天衣铺展在你脚下：

但我，清贫如洗，只有梦想；

我已把我的梦想铺在你脚下；

请轻踏，因为你踏在我的梦想之上。
